It’s possible that this will turn out to be brilliant, but for now I’m reserving judgment. I can’t figure out how old the narrative voice is supposed to be, which bothers me.

A little too clever-clever, but enjoyable. I didn’t believe in the number of highly intelligent, interesting, eccentric people, though. ;-)

Wondering if I can start and finish this tonight, in time for Hedgehog discussion tomorrow. It’s been a while since I’ve done that, but it could be fun.

Somewhat dated, but that’s not its fault.
